Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a practical physical method of exfoliation that involves lightly grazing the skin’s surface using a sterile medical knife. Dermaplaning works to enhance the look of acne scars, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and dullness by focusing on the cell regeneration process. The result is luminous skin with fewer flaws, a smoother complexion, and a healthier appearance.

Dermaplaning is a painless process like shaving that is used to remove superficial dead skin. To expose a clearer, brighter complexion, the surface dead skin is meticulously removed with a scalpel held at a 45-degree angle. Moreover, dermaplaning helps get rid of peach fuzz and improves product penetration. In addition to being suitable for pregnant women who wish to exfoliate without using harsh chemicals, it is advised for all skin types, except for those who have active acne outbreaks.

The items used for washing, moisturizing, even infusing serum or applying masks are all specially created for you as part of this therapy to address your skin issues. Dermaplaning may be the best course of action for you if you want to treat sensitive skin, dry skin, oily skin, or dry skin that is ageing. Moreover, dermaplaning can be used in conjunction with other skin care procedures including chemical peels, microneedling, and Hydra Facials. It is strongly advised to speak with one of our skin care specialists to find out how we can tailor dermaplaning to suit your needs.

How Dermaplaning Works at Alpha Med Spa Clinic

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does dermaplaning work?

Dermaplaning is a maximum exfoliation method where a sterile blade is stroked along the skin at a 45-degree angle, removing the uppermost layer of dead skin cells and revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.

2. What is the dermaplaning service like?

Sound a little scary? It really isn’t, so long as you’re in the hands of a trained professional. Dermaplaning treatments are safe and painless, with most stating the service feels like gentle scratching.

3. How long does dermaplaning take?

30 minutes usually. 45 minutes if you are combining with a chemical peel or other facial upgrade.

4. Why is dermaplaning good for skin?

Dermaplaning promotes cellular turnover and increases collagen and elastin fibers, so it is superb as an anti aging treatment. The layer of dead skin cells and facial hair that trap dirt and bacteria are removed, allowing for better product absorption and effectiveness.

Dermaplaning smoothens, tones, tightens, and brightens skin, creating a flawless canvas for makeup application.

5. Can I go back to work after dermaplaning?

Yes! There is no downtime with dermaplaning and you may resume normal activities as soon as you leave the spa. At most, you may experience some temporary redness that subsides quickly.

6. Will my hair grow back thicker if I shave my face?

No. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of the hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever.

7. How often should I get dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning should be received once every 4 weeks (monthly) to achieve optimum anti aging benefits. For removal of facial hair, primarily, every 4-6 weeks is recommended.

8. How do I know if dermaplaning is right for me?

Dermaplaning is safe for all skin types and recommended for those who want a non-invasive, affordable skin rejuvenation treatment that focuses on quick treatment sessions and no recovery time. Those who want to treat poor skin tone, acne scars, unwanted facial hair, large or clogged pores, dry skin, fine lines, and wrinkles can achieve great success with dermaplaning treatments.

9. Who should not get dermaplaning?

You should not receive dermaplaning if you are allergic to nickel, have undergone Accutane treatments within the last 6 months, have numerous raised lesions on the skin or inflamed acne.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to share the bad experience I had at this place. The esthetician herself wasn’t the issue; the real problem is the false promises they make about their laser treatments. From the very beginning, they assured me that after 8 sessions all my hair would be permanently removed. I went every month, and even though the procedure was extremely painful, I trusted that they were increasing the laser intensity properly. After the fourth session, I started developing acne and breakouts on my legs — something that had NEVER happened to me before. When I mentioned it, they simply told me my skin was dry. We continued anyway because the esthetician gave me a cream that, honestly, did absolutely nothing. After the sixth session, I had to wait more than 4 weeks due to lack of time, and during that period all the hair grew back, as if I had never started the treatment. Now I’m left with hair, marks from the breakouts, and the frustration of having wasted money on six sessions that did not work at all—despite their guarantee that after 8 sessions I wouldn’t have any hair left. Don’t waste your money here. It’s not worth it, and the results they promise are not real.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to PLC Laser Clinic in 2022 for melasma removal, and it was the worst decision of my life. After my final session in Jan 2023, I was left with burns and permanent dark patches on my face. No proper warnings, no accountability, and now I live every day with the emotional and physical scars they caused. I trusted them, followed every instruction, and tried everything to fix it—nothing worked. A dermatologist told me the damage is permanent. My confidence is shattered. I don’t recognize my own face anymore. Please, especially if you have melanin-rich skin, stay away. This place changed my life in the worst way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited PLC paser clinic for laser treatment and I am very impressed with the service. The clinic uses high end equipment, and the staff was professional and knowledgeable. My consultation was thorough, and they explained everything clearly, from the procedure to aftercare. The session was almost painless, and I saw noticeable results after just a few treatments. Highly recommend it!
